I totally expected to hear Eugene say "My Life for You" to Negan. Would have been even better if the final shot of the episode was Eugene reading the Stand in his room, smirking.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Mutiny wasprobably going to be the HCF universe version of Quantumlink, since C64-centric Quantumlink has NEVER been mentioned on the show (they would have been a direct competitor), and the fact that Mutiny/WesNet's interface was Quantumlink-ish. And in this episode, we see the new…

Yes, the Mutiny graphical thing resembles Maniac Mansion…because it is
SUPPOSED to resemble Maniac Mansion. I mentioned a few weeks back here that Mutiny reminded me of Quantumlink, even the colors on the WestNet knock off are Quantumlink-ish. And considering that Compuserve, the Source and whatnot have been…

Her decision WAS rational, for the time. There WAS a dedicated small and mostly affluent audience for online gaming/community on PC's in 1985 Cameron (and Joe) are right about gaming being the lure. It is….for the middle class suburban nerds using computers in 85. 10 years later, not so much, but for years online…

Ha! Watts from Some Kind of Wonderful. Came out the same year the 1st season was set in.

Yoyo wrote the bloated..512K!, backgammon game. Cameron mentioned twice to him that writing for Mutiny wasn't like writing for a "game console" with lots of "RAM" IIRC when he left because of the no-pay situation she mentioned "go off and do games for consoles that's what you wanted to do anyway"

He probably knew of Unix, but I don't think him pushing Mutiny to get their client on the 7300 was believable. He would have had minimal exposure to it at IBM. IBM was all about JCL and MVS in 1985. Sure it was AT&T pushing the machine, but DOS had more gamers. It would have made more sense if he'd have said "I want…

Yep, you're right, I thought of that AFTER I had posted. The 7300's monitor would have to be able to accept a luma/composite signal for it to work. Would still have the resolution issue, while one can use a C64's graphics mode to do a pseudo 80-column mode it would be identifiable as being low-res and not as sharp…

They specifically referred to making a quick hack version of a "10Broad36" interface to connect the hidden 64 because they couldn't hide the 64's external modem. (or the external RS232 interface for it either)
